Sephora Favorites Draw the Line Eyeliner Sampler ($28) is the perfect black eyeliner wardrobe that includes
three full-sized products and three deluxe-sized liners for creating
countless looks. I have one set to give away.

Just like the perfect
little black dress, this perfect black eyeliner set is sure to turn
heads! Flick, drag, sweep, or smudge with cream, liquid, or pencil. This
set features three full-sized eyeliners - from Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof
Cream Liner, Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Liner, to Sephora
Collection Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner in Black Glitter) - and three
deluxe liners (Buxom Insider Eyeliner in Black Jasper, Kat Von D Tattoo
Liquid Liner in Trooper, and Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Waterproof
Eyeliner Pencil). With multiple formulas and finishes to choose from,
you can create multiple looks with just a flick of the wrist. It’s the
perfect set for a beginner to practice and figure out what formula she likes best, or for the gal who has already decided that black eyeliner defines her life.

How can you enter to win this giveaway contest (technically a
sweepstakes)? Just leave a comment on this feature (not in another BTiB
post). After you comment here, feel free to send me an e-mail
at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com (the contest address,
not my "personal" e-mail) and identify your comment. You can
never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care
about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (an
alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot
com, in your comment). Please make sure I have your e-mail. If I can't notify you, you can't win - even if your number is drawn. I can't believe the number of winners I haven't been able to find in the past.

You can earn extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail
subscription, GFC, or though one of the many Google readers - see
sidebar at right) to earn a second entry. If you are a
follower, it would help me tally entries if you tell me in your
comment how you follow. You don't have to follow to enter. I
want everyone to have a chance, but I also want to reward my
followers. I must be able to track this entry.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. You must include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) and the contest title
in your tweet. Remember, tweet the contest title - if you
don't, that entry won't count. I will tweet the contest early
this evening, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second
entry - if that's easier.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, December 22,
at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number
generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the
winner on Sunday morning. The winner will have 48 hours
to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48
hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be
selected. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam
folder - when the contest ends.

This contest is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I
will carefully pack and ship the prize (as I always do). I cannot
insure the prize for overseas shipment - it's amazingly
expensive to do so because of the way I have to send insured
mail. If it's lost or stolen in transit, I may not be able to
replace it with another prize just like it. I'll do my best on
this end; let's see if your mail service does right by you on
the other end if we have an overseas winner.

The winner must be able to provide me with a "mailable address,"
meaning the U.S. Post Office recognizes it or its street, province, and
other "elements" the way the winner provides them. I've had some
trouble with both U.S. and international addresses lately.

For all the legalese related to this contest, please see the Contests/Sweepstakes page at the top of the blog. Good luck!

Hi, CG, and Merry Christmas! I've been without my computer for most of December and just got it back a day or so ago. I'm also sitting here typing with a broken shoulder (nasty fall!). So, to make this short, I'm glad to be back and catching up all that I missed! Thank you for the giveaway, as always.
